Kerala Parents Appeal to Mangaluru Police for Daughter's Return
In a distressing development, the parents of a 23-year-old woman from Kerala have made a fervent appeal to the Mangaluru City police to help bring their daughter back home. The emotional plea was delivered by the parents during a press conference held at the Pathrika Bhavan in Mangaluru on Thursday, where they shared their concerns and allegations regarding their daughter's disappearance.
Details of the Disappearance and Allegations
The parents revealed that their daughter is suspected to have traveled to Wayanad in Kerala with a man belonging to a different religious faith. According to their account, the young woman had been working in Bengaluru after completing her degree, and her parents were unaware that she had moved to a paying guest accommodation in Surathkal, Mangaluru. The situation came to light when she went missing from this hostel, prompting her family to file a formal missing person complaint at the Surathkal police station.
"We discovered through social media that our daughter had applied for marriage registration with a man from another faith in Wayanad," the girl's mother stated during the press interaction. "When we rushed to the Wayanad police station on Monday, we were only allowed five minutes to speak with our daughter. She assured us that she would return, but the police in Wayanad have not been cooperative with our efforts."
Lack of Police Cooperation and Community Response
The mother further elaborated on the challenges faced by the family, emphasizing that the authorities in Wayanad did not provide adequate assistance or support in resolving the matter. This alleged lack of cooperation has left the parents feeling helpless and frustrated as they seek to reunite with their daughter.
In response to the situation, leaders from the Hindu Jagaran Vedike have stepped forward, urging the police to take the issue seriously and ensure justice for the distressed family. The organization has called for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the woman's disappearance and her current whereabouts in Wayanad.
Broader Implications and Ongoing Efforts
The case highlights ongoing concerns about interfaith relationships and the role of law enforcement in such sensitive matters. The parents' appeal underscores the emotional turmoil faced by families in similar situations, where communication breakdowns and jurisdictional issues can complicate resolution efforts.
As the investigation continues, the Mangaluru City police are expected to coordinate with their counterparts in Wayanad to address the parents' grievances and facilitate the daughter's return. The community and authorities alike are closely monitoring the developments, hoping for a peaceful and just outcome for all parties involved.
